The first header image on the AKR website shows the entire beach that's there on the Key. The third image shows the entire resort - including the beach in the lower center of the shot. The dark stuff in the water is reef. If you accidentally get bent, you can't get much closer to the Roatan chamber - it's the dark brown building in the middle of all the boats... - I was there with a friend once.
Here's what they say about their shore dive - Shore Diving - Anthony's Key Resort - Roatan - Honduras
Here's what a guest said about the same dive - I happen to know him slightly and he's unbiased in other reviews:
If you can do without shore diving, Turquoise Bay resort could be an option. Subway Watersports is on-site and they have a small but decent beach. They do promote it as a cruise excursion however. And provide transportation from the cruise pier.

We were guests at Anthony's Key last week and we had a wonderful time. I used this site for open water checkouts for a new diver. The reef conditions are fantastic but it's a long hike out. The water is about 1 foot deep for around 100 feet, then it quickly drops to 3 feet deep for another 100 feet but you can snorkel or surface scuba until you get to open water there. Anthony's Key specializes in boat diving and lodging but this site is open nearly every afternoon. The DC3 dive is in the open channel, this site is not. The DC3 dive has very limited visibility while this site has fantastic vis.
